Filing On Deadline

April 15, 1994|By Roger G. Fuelster.

OAK PARK — Although I have always found the practice wasteful, keeping the post offices open to accommodate last-minute IRS filers on April 15 is, in these tight-money times, nothing short of irresponsible.

Postal service in the Chicago area is unsatisfactory, as experience and recent news reports attest. The Postal Service is going to increase fees again, and yet they pay overtime so that lazy citizens who can't get their tax returns mailed on time (say April 14) won't be "inconvenienced."
